Does anyone else have a problem keeping up with myspace?? I am totally and utterly addicted, and I spend MANY hours on this thing, but I never seem to keep up with the messages and the friend adds... I want to be able to add more blogs and stories of things that happen to me (for god knows that when you live in Las Vegas, crazy things tend to happen that are EXTREMELY noteworthy) along with pictures to prove it all!!

Like today for example.. I make myself get up early... about 9am, whicxh considering how late I am out every night, is a very early thing.. I cheated though and didnt go out last night... I did a ton of work here at my computer including myspace and then got ready for a business meeting at 1:30.. One of the things on my list to get done today was pay the car insurance for my mom (who happens to be traveling in hong kong of all places); she had forgotten to send it off before she left out of town.. So I have to call a number of places just to get her account number (which they gave up willingly; odd, no??) and THEN call the actual insurance company to make a payment.

By this time I have to be in my car on the way to my meeting, so multitasking I am driving and trying to type numbers into my sidekick to pay the insurance... Of course you can imagine what happens next.. Brakes lights ahead and nothing to do but slam on there brakes.. Right into the back of an SUV!!! Luckily for me, my car is low, and i hit his tow hitch... Luckily?? Yeah, my whole carbon fiber hood was buckled, along with the smashed up front head light. But I am the type of person to see the glass half full, and was glad that nothing had happened to his car... He tells me that he isn't going to report it to the insurance (**CROSSING FINGERS**) And I call my meeting to tell them I had gotten in an accident and would be late..

Who wrecks their car, and still continues on to their meeting??? Well I was determined to get there, even after my hood flew up on the freeway, smashing back into my windshield as I am trying to drive!!! I pull over, and the carbon fiber had delaminated from the frame of the hood, so nonchalantly I throw it on the side of the freeway, tie the rest of the hood down with an old phone charger, and continue on my way- broken windshield now and all!!

I make it to the Venetian where I meet her for lunch at Tsunami's... It's seriously like a mile walk from the parking garage through the Grand Canal Shops.. And you know how when you are in a hurry, all of a sudden no one else is and they all stop in front of you?? I finally get there, and thankfully she was arriving at the same time.. We had a great meeting, and I think I am going to sign them as a new client (***CROSSING FINGERS AGAIN***) and so I leave, back on my mile long walk, not so distressed as I was earlier..

Driving home, as it's starting to rain, I start thinking about all the calls that I have to make to try and get parts to fix my car. If I can get away without turning it into the insurance, I am really going to try to.. Especially since I am about to resign my policy... So I start checking the internet to find parts and calling people I know... At this point of the evening, I still havent solved my problems, but I definitely have ideas on how to get past this..

Now I sit here in front of myspace, thinking about getting ready so that I can go out for the evening.. My mood?? it's good!! Cept for a small "hiccup" in the beginning of the day, I am doing ok.. No one was hurt in the accident, and my car isnt TOO BAD....

I always think that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we never know what those reasons are but we have to believe in that, and move on.. I can't dwell on what happened today, or I won't be ready for the next strike that life pitches my way...

Believe you me, that won't ever happen!
